According to report, the mother of a 14-year old girl identified as Bilikisu Yusuf had told the landlord that she sent Bilikisu to buy sugar but instead she went and met a man.

He was rushed to a nearby hospital where he died two days later.
After the incident, Bilikisu told everyone that Isiaka was not her boyfriend.
"They just killed the innocent boy without any reason," an eyewitness lamented.
